True to New Yorker tradition, this collection of love stories is anything but sappy or schmaltzy. From writers both well-known and obscure, they span the spectrum of relationships - friends, lovers, singles, couples, parents, children - and are, by turns, humorous, heartbreaking, poignant, shocking, gentle and fierce. A must-have.

Interesting mix of stories from the New Yorker by a surprising number of authors I recognized. I liked that the definition of "love story" was so vague - every story doesn't have a happy ending, sometimes it's familial love, etc. It's an anthology and some stories were harder to get through than others, but most were short enough to not be a problem. I'm not a huge fan of short stories in general, but I enjoyed a few of these.
